What developments occurred in the Karen Read trial this week?
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialist League.
Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. Sorry, I'm like just in a very good mood. It's Friday, I'm wearing this like tomato red sweater that is like blinding me in my monitors because it's so bright, but whatevs. I'm in a really good mood. My son had his kindergarten, like not graduation, but like song this morning at a little themed breakfast. I'm just in a happy mood. But what we are here to talk about today is not my color of my sweater or my son and his beautiful seashell song and his vocal abilities, but we're here to talk about the Karen Reid trial. More specifically, everything that went down this week in trial. And this week was incredibly important, not only because all of the testimony, but because it is most likely the last full week we are going to have. It's estimated that the defense is going to complete presenting their case by Tuesday or possibly Wednesday of next week. Then how long do you think we'll be on verdict watch? I don't know. Do you think a day, two days, three days?
We may very well know at this exact time next week if Karen Reed is found innocent, not guilty, framed, mistrial, guilty, all the different things. options of like and variations of how this might play out so We'll see. We are close to the finish line. Now, as I said, this week, let me pull out my notes here. This week was a very important week in the trial. And I'm going to, of course, have Elena join. She's going to break it all down for us in her beautiful science, you know, not science. Well, she is, I guess, a scientist. So in her scientist, beautiful, organized ability. But for now, let me give you just the table of contents, OK, of what we're going to be talking about. We're going to be talking about Michael Proctor and the group chat and his text messages and how in those text messages he says how he initially thought that it was a fight in the house based on what paramedics and stuff said of what caused John O'Keefe's death. But then, as we know, 12, 24, 36 hours later, he was completely changing his tune. We also are going to talk about Officer Dever.
You may have already seen the clips that I put out on social media this week. She was a very hostile witness, not only in the sense of, like, the actual legal definition, but just her behavior and her attitude. She was very combative, very abrasive, just not... not... someone I would ever want to engage in a conversation with, to be quite honest. And what I found most compelling about her testimony is when she discussed the closed doors meeting she had, we all know her salary for a rookie cop, how as a rookie she was having some important meetings with some pretty high up people, how she said point blank that she saw Higgins go into the sally port for a weirdly long amount of time, or whatever she said, I'm paraphrasing, you'll hear the exact quote from Elena,
